Artists at Work in Downtown Cheyenne

Graffiti Artists in Cheyenne Wyoming.

In Cheyenne Wyoming, artists gathered to fill the empty wall space that frequents our downtown area. I saw some beautiful art. I got there early and was able to photograph some of the painters just beginning the process. Here are some photos and I hope we see a lot more art in downtown Cheyenne.
